City-Region Placemaking (C/RP):
For those who like their planning and design on a larger regional scale, spanning the urban and the rural, the natural and the political. Such practitioners are normally of the region in question; it’s their own home-place, on a large scale, that they are planning and designing. What might be the merits of reframing such city-region planning as common-place-making, on a grand scale?
